I said this yesterday but wanted to bring it back. Is anyone worried about Kuzy?  The guy is at the bottom of the list in plus minus every game. I’m starting to feel he just isn’t good at hockey anymore.  Also, KK playing is like nails on a chalkboard.   We just aren’t a good team when he plays. Do we call up Suzuki?

No. He’s already been called up as a black ace, we aren’t going to Suzuki because we lost one flipping game. KK is playing better than you think, just because he missed a goal doesn’t mean he’s bad. Kuz on the other hand, has some issue and I don’t know what it is. He’s not playing crisp, he’s either trying too hard or not enough. I’m not sure you can say he’s at the bottom of +/- every game because he’s not in the playoffs.

KK is not the issue here. He's played well.

There is reason he was benched this year. He hasn’t been playing well at all. Maybe…maybe a game this playoffs. The groups fascination with KK is wild. He isn’t good.  If he was that good he would have been benched for Kuzy when we traded for him.

I mean seriously, if we benched players for missing an empty net once a game we wouldn’t have a roster to start. KK isn’t great this year but he’s been serviceable, hopefully he’s just having a Necas slump, but I’m not too sure he hasn’t hit his ceiling here unfortunately though. Moral of the story though, KK is what we got. We aren’t throwing a perennial AHL player into the playoffs without a practice since like training camp. It’s far more likely we put Comtios in and move Drury to center a line in a HYPOTHETICAL situation.

I strongly disagree with this maybe if you are just watching points sure, but he had provided a ton of physicality and has played well defensively.....

He is an incrediblely streaky player scoring wise.... your neglecting to mention he also earned his spot back from Kuzy and Drury (Kuzy has his own issues but he adds a ton to the PP he single handily won game 1 for us)

I think rod needs to Reunite SAT and try Guentzel-KK-Jarvis if that doesn't work I'd seriously consider trying something I think he should have already and try JARVIS AT 2C his game is all about right down the middle and he is a natural C.

I agree we got here with what we have..... KK has played better than point totals he's added needed physicality and defense.... 

 

Check my other post for more on that.

 

This is kinda what I meant telling people to chill the other day lmfao. One road road double ot loss and people are saying crazyniess.

We don’t need svech on 1 right now, unless they start gooning again.

I’d go Guenz-Aho-TT Svech-KK-Necas

I stand by more original lines, dropping Necas to 4… but.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
